Bin Laden: Obama ‘powerless’ over Afghan war

AL-QAIDA leader Osama bin Laden described President Barack Obama as “powerless” to stop the war in Afghanistan, and Americans’ inability to grasp why the September 11 attacks occurred has “cost you a lot without any result whatsoever”.

The remarks by the terrorist leader were released only days after the eighth anniversary of the September 11 attacks that he ordered.

Bin Laden typically addresses the American people in a message timed around the anniversary.
